Hey, it's Jemma Spag from The Psychology of Your 20s.
In a very special episode brought to you by Alliant University, I ask Dr. Sandra Espinosa, what does therapy actually do? From the science behind therapeutic change, to how clinicians approach the work, to why therapy can feel so difficult to access or even stigmatized in some families and communities, we pull back the curtain on the therapeutic process and explore what meaningful growth actually looks like.
I didn't go to therapy until my mid-tw- late 20s, I think it was almost, and it was a career that I was pursuing, and I was still nervous.
What makes a good therapist?
We wanna hear your story.
I tell my, my clients, "You are the expert in your story, and I am gonna be a witness to that."
